All I want is for him to experience it before he dismisses it. Kind of like water torture. C'mon, dude, let's do this if it's so easy.

More Love Trouble for Sir!

As we know Sir struggles with many of the finest words. In particular Sir often fails to correctly pronounce "oral". In a recent debacle aboard Trump Force One, Laura Loomer suddenly felt compelled to cover her ears and flee before take-off when she thought she heard Sir demand "aural sex"....

Loud noises are transient high pressure events. The pressure can be transmitted through air, liquid (blood or lymph fluid) or solid. Such events can damage delicate structures in the brain. This is what CTE is Trump is an idiot and an asshole.

Perhaps we need to translate this into something he could relate to--the actual effect of a high-speed bullet passing close to his personal head. I've read a lot of speculation about that recently, and none of it that I saw suggested that, even if he had no visible injuries, there was no possibility of brain injury.

Ta, Evan. I want it to be the end ... of Trump, Trumpism, and the entire MAGA megillah.

“Yeah, that’s, that’s obviously not accurate,” what a load a weaselly bs. FFS Esper!

Almost as bad, the chain of command delayed or denied awarding these troops Purple Heart medals to avoid angering orange 'tater. This creature must never be Commander in Chief again.

That's cowardice. They should be ashamed.

In MAGA-world, any soldier who is wounded, killed, captured or psychologically broken by their duties were obvious weaklings and losers. A REAL American "warfigher" (God that term sounds so stupid!) always comes away unscathed leaving piles of commies/Moos-lims/Antifa bodies in their patriotic wake.

You'd think Trump would be more sympathetic about brain injuries, given that he appears to be suffering from dementia.

A fellow Walter Reed patient himself, who received treatment for a cough that originated from a self proclaimed hoax, no less! Nobody's ever seen anything like it before...

He has no self awareness. This explains why he walks around with a wig he found in a dumpster, wearing full kabuki makeup, and a suit that fits like pajamas while thinking he looks fine.

Fine? Fine you say? He thinks he has a beautiful body and we'd all swoon if we saw him in a bathing suit. Faint perhaps, but not swoon, say I.

A Democrat saying this would lose 50 states. This just shows the depth of Murc's Law.

Yeah, ironically the only thing that football is "equivalent" to war is the repeated head injuries aka CTE. Thanks to mini/massive concussions from small explosives to big artillery shells or IEDs that military folks in danger zones are exposed to (even naval aviators are affected due to many high impact carrier landings.)

I see, he's downplaying the brain injuries because he thinks they make him look bad. What a choad.

If he hadn’t ordered the assassination of the Iranian general, I doubt I ran would have launched the missile strike.

I'm convinced that Trump doesn't "lie" about like, literally EVERYTHING...it's just an analog to his morality. Much like Trump is AMORAL, not IMMORAL, he's like that with the truth. The truth has no intrinsic value to him; therefore, he places no value upon it. He has NO IDEA if the things that come out of his mouth are true or not, and he doesn't care, because the truth doesn't matter to him.

Unforunately, almost half the country believes every word he says.

He's a sociopath.

I agree, 99%, the 1% reserved for if he's a full-blown psychopath.

Trump is not amoral. He is definitely immoral.

Amoral people can do nice things for others, if it suits them.

I have never seen Trump do anything nice, even if it would help his image.

Expand full comment

Immoral would imply that he knows what right and wrong ARE, he just chooses to do wrong. Amoral means he has no concept of right or wrong, he just does what he feels like doing. Considering his motivating factors seem to be self-aggrandizement, spite and vengeance, he could be either, but I just don't think he has any morals, doesn't understand morals, and never has.

Lying and conflation is part of his malignant narcissism. His entire life is about a single thing; protecting his inflated and delusional sense of himself as the most special human being in history. Everything is involved in constructing a version of himself that is perfect and deserving of the admiration of the entire world. Anything that intrudes on that must be explained away or that incorporated into a new narrative where it never existed as being critical of him. The older version is just dropped as the people around him know better than to insist on anything that does not match what he insists is the truth.

Big words from someone who escaped service under the false pretense of bone spurs.

Why do many vets support Trump, because he's all macho and stuff?

(He's really a quivering pile of orange jello.)

'cause a portion of them are racist fascists who also want to hunt humans when the federal government is finally defanged. Racial minorities especially.

He reminds them of the distant, emotionless (except fear and rage), abusive fathers they joined the military to get away from and yet are still psychologically attached to and destined to repeat their lives?

Ouch.

Brain injury and brain function is not something he knows much about.

They are of vague theoretical influence only.

He does not know much about everything.
